Whether you need a reservoir engineer recruiter, a landman recruiter, or a CFO search, it runs through the same process and the same team.
Our leadership personally invests in minerals and working interests. So we know the market and the industry the way an investor does, not just the way a recruiter does. We can talk shop with a geologist, a landman, or a CFO. Candidates notice. It is a big reason we get callbacks and win searches.
The Position Package gets them to listen. Industry knowledge keeps the conversation going.

Equipment, services, and rental companies, many PE-owned.
Generation, renewables, and energy transition companies.
"Historically, I've been a skeptic when it comes to working with recruiting firms, but Hazeltine completely changed my perception. I felt like they were my partner throughout the entire recruiting process, adding value every step of the way."SVP, PE-backed midstream company
"The team at Hazeltine has been a great resource. They take the time to understand what their client needs, find a list of qualified candidates, and help their client understand what the recruit is looking for in a new role."CFO, PE-backed energy company

No. Finance and accounting is the majority of our energy work, but we place across the whole company: reservoir and production engineers, geologists and geoscience executives, landmen and land executives, engineering executives, corporate development, HSER, and midstream leaders.
No, but most of our energy clients are sponsor-backed.

Yes. See Interim CFO and Accounting Executives.
A lot of recruiting is LinkedIn InMails and emails sent out in bulk, hoping something sticks. We build a targeted list for every search, and our first outreach is a phone call. The best finance leaders aren't scrolling job boards or talking to five recruiters. They get plenty of messages and very few calls. Across hundreds of searches, the phone call has found our best candidates, the ones who weren't looking. Then the Position Package lets them see the hiring manager and the role on video before the first interview.
